I live on a farm in County Waterford, with my husband, two children and our nutty Springer Spaniel called Sam. I spent many years working in the travel industry where I had many fantastic experiences. For example, little did I know that I would use my old boss’s idea to bring cruise liners into Ireland to be the career choice of my lead character, Grace Fitzgerald in my first novel, Butterfly Barn. That’s the beauty of fiction. People can do and be whoever they want. Currently, I tutor in adult education delivering a range of modules such as communications, tourism, and personal effectiveness. My big passion is my work as a literacy tutor. I truly believe that every person should have the opportunity to read. As a teenager, I travelled the world from the sofa in my living room, immersed in the world of books.
